Weekend of September 4th-5th 2010

Lifestyle Segments

Dr. Oz's Greatest Health Tips

1. Laugh! Laughing not only eases stress, it promotes social bonding, and it lowers blood pressure.    

2) Brushing teeth is not enough. If you plan on spending your later years eating more than yogurt or applesauce, invest in some floss. Flossing gets rid of bacteria that lingers in between teeth.

3)  Learn to cook! If you think you know how much butter goes into those mashed potatoes at your favorite restaurant, you’re probably off by half. Cooking at home not only saves money, it also helps you gain control of what goes into your meals.

 

Labor Day Weekend Activity Ideas

1.  Beach Picnic. If you live by a beach, use this long weekend to float in the warm water and relax in the rays of the sun before it’s all gone! Don’t get too crazy, just make some basic sandwiches, bring some chips, and you’re good to go.

2. Family Outing. Take an afternoon to strap the kids in the car, and head to your favorite destination. Maybe your local zoo, a water park, or even a museum is a great way to spend time with the kids.

3. End of Summer Scenic Drive. Take advantage of the last days of lush, green scenery before the leaves start to fall.
